Question:

Best for 2020 Honda Civic SI?

asked by: Amy

Expert Reply:

The 2020 Honda Civic Si is a tricky vehicle to carry bikes on because the design keeps trunk mount racks from fitting and there aren't any trailer hitch receivers that fit either. You can go with a roof rack but that stays on the car and will likely get in the way if you have a sunroof. Instead I recommend going with a SeaSucker bike carrier.

SeaSuckers use vacuum cups to mount to your Civic's roof or rear glass. They're surprisingly secure. I've tried pulling one of the cups off a car myself with it not even fully mounted and there was no way it was going anywhere. Check out the attached video of the VW bus. It shows just how strong their vacuum cups are.

Which carrier is best for you depends on how many bikes you have:

The Talon for 1 bike, part # 298-BT1004
The Mini Bomber for 2 bikes, part # 298-BM2006
The Bomber for 3 bikes, part # 298-BB3008

I've also linked videos of each individual carrier for you.
